I’m back with another tutorial for you guys. Like I mentioned before we previously celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday (you can find the tutorial here). The party was Moana themed – which is one of our favorite movies so far. We decided to make our own Maui Fish hook. I’m very proud of my girl because she did the majority of the project herself and I think she did a phenomenal job!

What you’ll need…

White foam board (Dollar Tree)

carboard

Brown Marker or paint

Glue Gun and sticks

white painters tape (dollar tree)

White paint (found at craft stores)

Tan felt fabric

Directions…

First thing she did was google Maui fishhook images and freehanded the fishhook pattern onto cardboard. We then used that as our template to trace and cut the rest of the cardboards. The cardboard pieces we had were from purchases we made during the year, we just store them in the garage until we need them. We used 4 brown scrap cardboard and 2 white foam boards that we used as the outer part of the fish hook.

Next we glued all the hooks together and taped it to together for added security.

Next we painted the the fishhook white and allowed it to dry. Tip: we applied several coats to the fish hook to make it seem more seamless but you can still see the tape.

We also cut strips of felt and glued it to the fish hook handle (try saying that 3 times fast!) Drew some scroll patterns though out the Fish Hook and that’s it, your done!

Full disclosure: We had everything we needed to make Maui’s Fish Hook on hand. If we had not this would of cost us a total of $5.00 (paying for the felt, paint, white foam board, tape and cardboard) which is still not bad! When we started this project we had a few minor set backs. The tape we used kept unraveling – I’m guessing it’s because we used Dollar Tree white tape and it didn’t have a strong adhesive to it. Also make sure to buy white acrylic paint from the craft store, we had some in hand but it was Pearl white and completely opaque (ugh). Other than that we had a great time working together!

Make sure to come back for our 3rd project. Moana’s boat and oar as a photo prop! Thanks for watching guys! If you decide to create your own Maui Fish Hook make sure to share it on instagram and tag me @hipncreative or use the hashtag #hipncreative. Until next time guys, have an awesome day!

A while ago we celebrated my youngest daughters birthday. She was turning 10 and wanted a Moana themed birthday party. I prefer to DIY as much of my kids party decor as I can because a) it’s sometimes cheaper for me to use whatever left over products I have and b) I’m crazy like that and like to torture myself with extra work!

I recruited my daughter to help me with this project and I have to say it was a super simple project and we had so much fun working together. So let’s get started..

What you’ll need..

Bamboo skewers (Dollar Tree or Supermarket) cut in half

Paper towel rolls or toilet paper

Brown paper bags

tape or glue

Green Paper

2″ foam ball (Dollar Tree or Craft store) cut in half

Flower Pot (Dollar Tree)

rocks (Dollar tree)

Directions…

I love making beef empanadillas/empanadas for my family and I thought it would be awesome to share this recipe with you as well. I have been making these for years and love it! I hope you do too. Below I have the list of ingredients you will need to make a batch for yourself. I also included the video for you as well!

DIRECTIONS:
On a separate pot boil a medium potato until fork tender, drain and set aside. On a medium pan cook your beef on medium heat until brown then drain. Add all the ingredients together.

Next take your meat and potato filling and fill the center of the discs. Pinch the ends to secure the discs and prevent them from opening with a fork. Fry in pan for about 3 minutes (each side) on medium heat or until golden brown.

Serve alone or with your favorite rice recipe! If you make this recipe please make sure to share it with me on instagram by tagging me @hipncreative!

What’s up guys! Today I wanted to share a super simple and super cute Up-cycle project using popcorn tins. I had this tin since the holidays and finally got around to making it into a really cute container. Below is the video showing you exactly what I did to makeover the popcorn tin.

The best part of is that I freed up some much needed space and my vanity desk top is clean and clear!
